In an ever growing world dominated by corporations we have seen the successful resurgence of the corporate monopoly! Whether you want to believe it or not many of the largest and most (politically) powerful corporations have a strangle hold on products, services and governments. The latest news in the U.S., Kraft merging with Heinz, but don't forget Comcast and Time Warner or Exon and Mobil to name a few of the larger mergers in recent time. These are the ones with names we are familiar with, how about Vodifone, Cellco, RBS Holdings and the list goes on! The folks (crooks) doing these deals will tell you it is a good thing and that the costs of goods and services provided by these companies will go down as a result of the mergers (monopolies). Not so! That is the biggest bunk of bull biscuits you'll hear! In fact once a "market" is secured by many of these monopolies the total cost to the consumer of these goods and services goes up! By a lot in many cases. Check the trend in the cost of generic drug prices recently, not to mention brand name drugs. We all know how gasoline prices have out paced inflation by four football fields in the last 4 decades, not to mention food (especially food commodities - what a con job).

Check out this video and then also review what and why large corporations like Monsanto are genetically modifying plants, seeds and other living food products. See if you can look past the advertising hype that "this is only about creating more food for an increasingly more hungry world" line.

Infrastructure does not have to be restricted to the construction industry only! Please do not be so narrow minded and uncreative in your thinking when it comes to proposing a plan to generate job growth for our country!

Here is the challenge: I cannot think of one time where cutting taxes has spurred job growth, not a single one! Why do we hear this lie perpetuated over and over again by conservatives? Trickle down economics has been proven NOT to work! The government, our government must be playing an integral role in creating jobs and thereby stimulating the economy. Any 1st year student of history or economics knows this as fact!

If you can reference any actual historical fact where tax cuts and trickle down economics worked to turn around or stimulate a down economy please post it here!

The children in Congress need to stop playing politics and arguing over the rhetoric instead of the facts – go ahead but let’s get this done instead of lying and cheating the American people! Please!
